"Matt and Tyson were awesome. On time, professional, respectful of property, solved tricky sump pump install. Knew codes. Efficient, clean, good electronic system for appointments, reminders, etc."
"He bid the washer box install then was able to add the drain pipe increase. Very neat work. Added a clean out with the drain increase that was needed. Pleasant easy to work with, good communicator, good quality work done timely. Really appreciated the work"
"Joe and Marco did an amazing job! Great pricing, excellent communication, and outstanding customer service. They were professional, efficient, and did quality plumbing work. Highly recommend them!"
"Rooter Guys installed a sump pump in my basement after we began experiencing flooding. They rearranged their schedule in order to fit us in sooner given the urgency of the project. They were professional, hardworking and kept us informed throughout the process."
"The company showed up when they said they would and completed the job within the time frame that they stated. Communication was a little rough with the field, but communication with the office was very responsive. Considering the extent of the work and the constraints within which they had to work, there was remarkably little collateral damage done. Unfortunately I was not able to witness the work before it was covered up and so I cannot comment on the quality of the installation, but can say that the company did a good job protecting the surrounding landscaped areas and seemed contentious and thoughtful in their approach to the work. I would definitely work with them again."
"I needed a sump pump repair and received two quotes. Bulletproof Plumbing and Heating was cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars. They successfully performed the work as promised and I was impressed with the quality and customer service experience that I had Todd (the owner) quote another project to install new plumbing on a basement kitchenette we were installing. Again his quote was significantly lower than another quote I received and the end result was another quality project completed by his team. Since then I have used Todd and his team for a couple of other plumbing issues. He is very responsive to my texts/calls and it is comforting to know that he will always send the same plumber (Jesse) to address our issues. It is also nice to know that I can always count on Todd 24/7 to respond back to me and treat me as though I was his most important customer. His company is definitely is worth hiring to address your plumbing needs!!!"
"I knew I needed my sewer to be done. I had 3 estimates and this company was fantastic! The quote was fair. Rocky Mountain is professional and trust worthy. Thought it was going to be a few day project. They got it done in one day and back in service! If you?re having drain or plumbing issues. Please call Rocky Mountain plumbing!"
"Found Denver Drain (DD) through Angie list and being an old salesman myself, I reached out to the first company that left a message; that was Jeanette from DD. They could have had someone out the next day, but to accommodate my schedule he was here in 3 days. JJ was professional, courteous, and respectful, and got the job done quickly. I highly recommend DD to anyone and they are now in my contact list as my plumber MW"
"JJ was very courteous and explained everything he was doing. Replace our old plastic sump pump with a sturdy cast iron sump pump that should last a lot longer!"
"Nate Medford conducted our electrical inspection offered by the Awesome Club Membership Program. Nate didn't just inspect, he explained. He also didn't just explain, he corrected issues along the way. Today he brought our subpanel up to code and prevented a probable electrical fire. In addition, Nate spent lengthy time on the phone with me last week, giving clear guidance on LED fixtures to replace our florescent lighting. With Matthew's help, today the 6 light fixtures were replaced, a necessary wireless carbon detector and GFCI outlet installed, and for fun and convenience, 2 USB outlets given. Special note: the GFCI outlet wasn’t a simple swap-out. Nate had to cut into the trim for that installation, which he did incredibly cleanly and precisely. Upon completion, the work areas were cleared of trash and left in great condition. Thank you so much for all your work, your attention to detail, for caring."
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.
You should be fine. Most high-grade grinder pumps have a 24-hour holding capacity within the tank. You can continue to use the facilities so long as the power outage does not stretch into days. In a worst-case scenario, attach a generator to the grinder pump, providing it has sufficient electric capacity.
You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.
Every three to four months, you should clean any dirt and debris off of your sump pump. You should also check the inlet screen (at the bottom of the pump) to make sure that it isn’t blocked. On top of that, you should deep clean your sump pump once per year—or hire a sump pump pro to do it for you.
Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.
